Set in 1934, this fast‑paced door slamming comedy follows Lucille Wiley, Manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, as she prepares for a prestigious, one‑night‑only performance of Carmen.
Her star is the world‑renowned - and notoriously temperamental - soprano Elena Firenzi.
When Elena arrives scandalously late, with her wildly jealous husband chaos explodes, triggering a domino effect of misunderstandings. Soon the luxury hotel suite is overrun with mistaken identities, an overly flirtatious tenor, an overbearing Chairwoman, a nosy bellhop, and Jerry - Lucille’s star‑struck son who’s far too eager to meet Elena – again.
As disaster piles upon disaster, it falls to Jo, Lucille’s capable yet underestimated assistant, to step up and attempt to save both the performance and Lucille’s sanity.
Because our actors perform close to you, we are unable to let guests in once the show begins so, please allow plenty of time to find parking and get settled before the play starts at 7:30pm. Thanks so much for your understanding.
Wheelchair accessible seating is available upon request - please phone 0508 iTICKET (0508 484 253) to book this in directly!
